WATCH: Trump Rushed Away By Secret Service While Speaking During Reno Rally (Videos)

Secret Service agents rushed Donald trump off stage this evening, Motzoei Shabbos, during a rally in Reno, Nevada, after they determined that a protester in the audience with a gun posed a threat to the Republican presidential candidate, the Daily Mail reports.

“Go! Go!” agents shouted as they whisked him away and a combination of local police and private security wrestled the suspect to the ground. Thousands of people scattered like a sea of bodies, screams rang out, and authorities dragged the man away as he kicked.

Trump returned to the stage just five minutes later.

“Nobody said it was going to be easy for us,” Trump declared. “But we will never be stopped. Never, never be stopped. I want to thank the Secret Service. These guys are fantastic. They don’t get enough credit. They don’t get enough credit. They’re amazing people.”

The man who caused the ruckus, Thomas Dimassimo, was charged with disorderly conduct and inciting panic.

No weapon was found.

The Washington Post reports:

Donald Trump was rushed offstage by security officials tonight during a campaign rally, but the candidate emerged back on stage after a few minutes and finished his speech.

As Trump was speaking, there was some kind of a disturbance in the front of the room. When Trump put his hand above his eyes to peer out into the crowd, security officials rushed to his side and escorted him offstage. People near the front of the room suddenly scattered as U.S. Secret Service and uniformed officers jumped the barricades to apprehend an unidentified man. After some commotion, the man was led out of the room by armed officers as the crowd clapped and cheered.

The Republican presidential nominee later concluded his rally without further incident. It was not immediately clear what the cause of the disturbance was.

The Secret Service said in a statement that no weapon was found but that a joint investigation with Reno police was underway. There was no word from the agency on the man apprehended by authorities, but local reports said he had been released.

Trump later released a statement thanking the Secret Service and local law enforcement for their “fast and professional response,” adding that “nothing will stop us – we will make America great again!”

After the disruption, Trump campaign aides and the candidate’s son Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a supporter’s comment crediting Trump for returning to the stage after an “assassination attempt” and noted that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton had cut an event short earlier Saturday in Florida because of rain.
